(Cl. 24 200) This application is a continuation in part of application Serial No. 341,824 for Buckle-filed June 22, 1940, now Patent No. 2,224,773, granted December 10, 1940. I

My present invention relates to the buckle art, and more particularly to a buckle construcor sewing: I

The principal object of the present invention is to provide a buckle construction which. can.

be readily attached to a tape or garter without the necessity of threading thesame through the I buckle or of,sewing.

Another object of the present invention'is to provide a buckle construction in which the tape provide a buckle construction which will permit the ready adjustment of the tape without the necessity of removing the stitching or other attaching means thereon.

Another object of the present invention is to provide'a buckle construction which can readily of buckles, hooks,

With the above and other objects and advantion which can be attached without threading and replaceable by the wearer without the necessity of stitching or stapling.

Referring-to the drawing illustrating my invention, Fig. 1 discloses a double buckle l0, tape being readily attachable and detachable from each end. In this'construction, side bars II and I! are provided with a plurality of spaced parallel bar portions I3, l4, l5 and I6 extending towards each other and located in the center portion of the buckle to form two spaced split parallel bars. On either side of the portions 13 to I 6 and spaced therefrom are solid bar portions l1 and IS; the ends of the side bars extend inwardly towards each other to form split bars I9 and 20.

The method of removably attaching a tape to.

v the buckle is illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3, the

tag'eous features in view, my invention consists of a novel arrangement'of parts more fully disclosed in the detailed description following, in conjunction with the accompanying .drawing, and more specifically defined in the claims appended hereto. In the drawing:

Fig. 1 is a front elevation of a buckle embodying my invention; I

Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the buckle shown I in Fig. 1 with a tape threaded therethrough;

Fig. 3 is a section taken along line 33 on Fig.

Fig. 4 is a front elevation of a triple buckle embodying my invention;

Fig. 5 is a front elevation of a modified con- 4 struction; and n Fig. 6 is a-front elevation of another type of hook buckle embodying my invention. I

In the manufacture of womens wear such as lingerie, brassieres, garters, etc., it has been found desirable to remove the'buckles from the garment when washing and ironing. The present invention is designed to provide a buckle construction which can readily be applied to various forms of lingerie buckles, garters, and the tape 21 being folded over to form a. loop 22 which is slipped over the split bar portions, such as l5- and I6. The folded tape strands are then passed.

over the solid bar portion l8 and beneath the split bar portion 20 by twisting through the gap.

In this position the pull on the tape frictionally' locks the tape to the buckle without sewing or stitching. To remove the tape, the tape strands are slipped out through the gap of the end split bar and then slid out from the split bar portions I 5, l6. Adjustment of .the tape is readily obtained by slipping the tape. strands out of the end split bar gap and then adjusting the length by pulling around the inner split bar, and then looking after the length adjustment by retuming the tape strands through the gap of the end split bar.

like, and which is easily attached to the garis an extension of one side of the buckle It can thus be seen that the buckle construction illustrated permits ready attachment of a tape or lingerie strapwithoutsewing or threading; the length of the tape or strap may be readily adjusted without removing from the buckle, and the buckle may be readily removed and replaced for the purpose of washing or ironing the tape or strap.

In the modified construction shown in Fig. 4, the buckle, which is designated Illa and utilizes theconstruction-shown in Fig. 1, has a third tape or strap buckle- 23,'preferably at right angles to the buckle 10a, and including a base 24 which 100, and two side bars 25, 26 between which are positioned a split bar 21, a solid bar 28, and an end ment without sewing and is readily removable such as shown inFig. 5, wherein the double buckle see portion which is generally similar to the buckle of Fig. 1, has a side extension 30 with a slot ii, to thus permit attachment of a third tape or strap by passing through the slot and around the side extegiion. Or a hook buckle I may be provided,

g. 6, having the same double buckle base por i on, but provided with a hook 32 formedirom a side extension 33.

As can readily be seen from the foregoing construction, I have provided a buckle attaching means which is simple in construction and can be readily blanked out in a single piece from sheet stock. The construction of the present invention permits the attachment of a buckle to two or more tapes, lingerie straps or the like without the necessity of sewing, stapling or other attaching means. Furthermore, the present constructionpermits ready removal of the buckle for the purposes of washing or cleaning and also permits a ready adjustment as to length of the tape.
